OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software Studio) is primarily designed for video recording and live streaming rather than video editing. While it offers basic video editing capabilities, its features are limited compared to dedicated video editing software. However, if you still wish to use OBS Studio for simple video editing tasks, here's a general outline of the process:
- Import the video: Launch OBS Studio and create a new scene or use an existing one. Add the video file you want to edit by adding a "Media Source" or "VLC Video Source" to the scene.
- Trim and cut clips: To trim or cut parts of the video, you can use the "Start/Stop Recording" feature in OBS Studio. Adjust the video playback position to the desired starting point and press the "Start Recording" button. Then, navigate to the desired endpoint and click the "Stop Recording" button. OBS Studio will save the recorded segment as a separate file.
- Arrange and edit clips: If you have multiple clips or segments, you can arrange them in different scenes and use OBS Studio's scene transition features to create a sequence. This allows you to switch between clips smoothly during playback.
- Apply basic effects and filters: OBS Studio provides some basic filters and effects that you can apply to the video. These include color correction, image masking, chroma key (green screen), and audio filters. You can access these options by right-clicking on the video source in OBS Studio and selecting "Filters."
- Export the edited video: Once you've completed your desired edits, you can use OBS Studio's recording feature to export the edited video. Start the recording and play through the scenes or segments you've created. OBS Studio will save the recording as a new video file.

OBS Studio is primarily designed for live streaming and screen recording rather than video editing. However, it does offer some basic video editing features that can be useful for simple editing tasks. Here's how you can use OBS Studio for basic video editing:
- Import your video: Open OBS Studio and create a new scene. Right-click within the "Sources" panel and select "Add" > "Media Source". Browse and select the video file you want to edit. The video will appear in the preview window.
- Trim the video: To trim the video, you can use the "Start Time" and "End Time" settings in the Media Source properties. Adjust the values to specify the desired start and end points of the video. This way, only the selected portion will be included in the output.
- Add overlays or text: OBS Studio allows you to add overlays or text to your video. Right-click within the "Sources" panel and select "Add" > "Image" to add image overlays. You can also use the "Text" source to add text overlays with custom fonts, colors, and animations.
- Apply filters: OBS Studio provides some basic video filters that you can apply to your footage. Right-click on the media source and select "Filters". Click the "+" button and choose the desired filters, such as color correction, sharpening, or chroma keying.
- Export the edited video: Once you have finished editing, you can export the edited video by going to "File" > "Remux Recordings". OBS Studio will remux the video, saving only the edited portion without re-encoding, which helps maintain the video quality. Choose the destination folder and save the remuxed video.

OBS Studio is primarily designed for live streaming and screen recording, rather than video editing. However, it does offer some basic video editing capabilities that can be useful for simple editing tasks. Here's how you can use OBS Studio for video editing:
- Import the Video: Open OBS Studio and create a new scene. Right-click on the "Sources" box and select "Add" > "Media Source." Choose your video file from your computer and click "OK" to import it into the scene.
- Trim and Split Clips: To trim or split the video, you can use the "Scrubber Bar" at the bottom of the OBS Studio interface. Drag the scrubber to the desired position, and then click the "Start Recording" button to start playback from that point. Click the "Stop Recording" button when you reach the end of the desired segment. This will create a new video clip containing only the selected portion.
- Apply Filters and Effects: OBS Studio provides basic filters and effects that you can apply to your video clips. Right-click on the video source in the "Sources" box, select "Filters," and click the "+" button to add a new filter. You can then choose from options such as color correction, image masking, chroma-keying, and more.
- Adjust Video Settings: OBS Studio allows you to make adjustments to the video settings. Right-click on the video source in the "Sources" box, select "Properties," and you can modify properties like resolution, aspect ratio, and frame rate.
- Export the Edited Video: Once you have made the desired edits to your video, you can export it. Go to "File" > "Remux Recordings" and select a destination folder to save the edited video. OBS Studio will remix the video, which means it will repackage the edited clips without re-encoding, resulting in a faster export process.

4. Arrange multiple video sources: If you have multiple video sources or want to overlay images or text on your video, you can add additional sources to the scene. Right-click on the scene and select "Add," then choose the desired source type (e.g., image, text) and configure it as needed.
5. Preview and export: Use the preview window in OBS Studio to review your edited video. Once you're satisfied, you can either record the preview or use third-party software to capture the OBS Studio output as a video file. OBS Studio doesn't have a built-in export function for saving edited videos directly.
While OBS Studio can handle basic video editing tasks, it's important to note that it may not provide the same level of features and flexibility as dedicated video editing software. For more advanced editing needs, consider using specialized video editing tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve.
Additionally, OBS Studio's primary strength lies in its live streaming and recording capabilities. If your goal is primarily video editing, you might find dedicated video editing software to be more suitable and feature-rich for your needs.
